Recently Thrifted: Pretty Awesome Haul

Hey y'all :)

Remember, way back in the day, when I use to do "recently thrifted" posts??? Well, no one probably remembers that because I don't think I had any readers back then *shrug*.

Yesterday, I got a surprise day off. Meaning I was at work and due to a bunch of cancellations I got sent home after an hour and a half. I took the time to have an introverted (not talking to anyone I don't want to, listening to music, thrift store hopping, dog park sitting, evening napping) day. It was GREATLY needed.

So now I want to show you what I thrifted in my adventures yesterday. There were a couple pieces that I'm stupid excited about. Aaaand... let's get going ^.^

I went to four thrift stores: Goodwill, The Christian Sharing Center, Super Dollar Thrift, & St. Vincent De Paul.

Goodwill: Cookbook $2.99 & Hardback $1.99

Goodwill: Paperbacks $0.99

Goodwill: Square photo frame $0.99

I'm glad I found a new cookbook because evidently there was some sort of house elf that stole the ones I had. -_- So now I'm looking for cookbooks with lots of dessert recipes since that's what I'm into cooking-wise. The grey Bartlett's book is a collection of readings for weddings. I'm hoping to find a few things to incorporate into our wedding. The frame was a great find for me since one of the enhancements I make at JCP is a 10x10 collage and those frames are super hard to find. Well unless you pay $18 for them in the studio... So $0.99 was pretty awesome ^.^

These are the only things I picked up at the Christian Sharing Center. I resisted the urge to buy the few balls of yarn they had. :) Whenever I see cheap craft supplies, like that ruler, I always pick them up because they are always handy.

Super Dollar Thrift: Merona Suede Loafers $2.99

I also bought a room lamp for $6 at Super Dollar. I'm always excited to find shoes in my size (size 10 shoe problems) and these loafers are so cute and in great condition.

St. Vincent De Paul: Scarves $0.99 each

St. Vincent De Paul: Ann Taylor Blue Suede Loafers $3.99

The last stop was St. Vincent De Paul where I found these amazing pieces ^.^ I'm imagining these scarves with a huge twistout. I can't wait!

So yeah. These are the things I picked up yesterday during my surprise day off thriftaventure. The cookbook will surely get some play this weekend as Lamar has planned a potluck for the young people at church. Time for me to become the dessert girl again ^.^
